Opinion

No. 09-20056 Summary Calendar.

November 23, 2009.

James Lee Turner, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney's Office, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Tommy Alexander, Sr., Lewisburg, PA, pro se.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, No. 4:89-CR-331-1.

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.


Tommy Alexander, Sr., federal prisoner # 07193-035, appeals the denial of his motion under FED.R.CRIM.P. 32 to correct the Presentence Report ("PSR"). Complaints regarding the contents of a PSR must be raised before imposition of sentence; therefore, the district court did not have jurisdiction to consider Alexander's post-sentence motion. See United States v. Engs, 884 F.2d 894, 895-97 (5th Cir. 1989). The judgment is AFFIRMED on that alternative basis. See United States v. Early, 27 F.3d 140, 142 (5th Cir. 1994).
